Cañada San Francisco Housing Complex / HGR Arquitectos
Cañada San Francisco is a housing complex composed of 14 houses. It is located in Avenida San Francisco # 368, at the Barrio San Francisco neighborhood, in Mexico City. The main challenge of the project was to accommodate the program in a lot with very complicated characteristics; with only one street-facing of 7 meters and through the descent of more than 100 meters in length and 11 meters of unevenness, the area of the houses is reached. These are arranged in 2 different platforms with a slope of approximately 3 meters of height. The project proposes 5 different blocks, ranging from one to four 250 sqm houses. The blocks communicate through an open corridor that serves as a housing lobby and connects directly with the parking area.
